Chapter 29: Training Day (Part 1)

Alex’s POV

When waking up the next morning I couldn’t help but feel more at ease. Almost like everything felt right within the world. My body slowly moving into that of a sitting position. Having been nestled between Tori’s legs all night that I couldn’t help but find it comfortable.

Jake and Zac currently asleep on either side of him as Tori slept soundly between each of us.

‘Mate’ purrs Volt, obviously happy to have Tori here with us.

Smiling at our mate I can’t help but smile wider. Especially when Tori moves to roll closer to Jake. Jake’s arm still holding him close while Zac’s arm laid gently along his waist.

‘Looks like mate knows when we’re close’

‘Of course he does. He’s made specifically for us’

Purring at the thought of claiming him do I carefully move to shower. Deciding to start my day early as we were supposed to be training Tori. Each of us helping Tori to fight and spar and help him get stronger. For while he may be fast and have great reflexes and agility, strength was not something that Tori had and that’s where we came in.

Because after spending all of yesterday pleasuring Tori who in turn pleasured Jake it was a miracle that we managed to stop when we did. Each of us knowing that at the end of the day we all got Tori and Tori got us.

Smiling again, do I move to enter Jake’s shower. Zac and I having done it time and time again especially when we first found out about our attraction to one another. Our wolves acknowledging the other as mates. Yet, as we grew older did we each begin to feel an emptiness deep within us. A void. Almost as if we were each incomplete. Never fully whole until the day Tori was born.

For you see, when Tori was born Jake, Zak and I were only 6 at the time. The three of us always joined at the hip as my father, Delta Leo would always say. The three of us always together. Then, one day Tori was born and our group of three became four.

A need to keep Tori close to us.

And while he might have smelt funny at first, our love for him only grew the older we got. Our need to always be close to him a must. Even when we turned 14 and Tori was 8, our wolves seemed to have sensed Tori before us because they rode us relentlessly about keeping Tori safe.

It was also the reason why Jake refused his father during the festival. Not because Jake refused to take a mate or a chosen, it was because Vox knew that our mate was Tori. Volt and Ash agreeing. Neither of them wanting anyone other than Tori.

Sighing softly at all the memories and how far we’ve all come am I finally happy to have Tori here with us. To have him within our arms every day and every night. Tori finally our Luna. The one chosen by the Moon Goddess to become our heart.

Volt now purring even as I move to shower. The need to be dressed and ready to go a must as Jake, Zak and Tori slept.

‘Don’t hurt Tori’ murmurs Volt.

‘I won’t. We’ll be careful bud’ I say, knowing it to be true. For we would always be careful when it came down to Tori. And anyone who dare lay a finger on him will face severe punishment from Jake. Our Alpha.

A few short minutes later am I finally done showering. Having taken a few extra minutes to release a little unwanted tension. Tension that could only be caused by ones mate do I finally move to leave the safety of Jake’s bathroom. A towel now wrapped around my waist. Not wanting to accidentally flash anyone if I could help it.

My eyes soon noticing Zak and Jake who were both getting up. Tori still asleep within the bed.

“Tori still sleeping?”

“Yeah. Zak and I will go shower next and then we’ll meet you over at the training grounds, okay” offers Jake. His eyes now on mine before turning back to Tori.

“Sure. Just don’t take too long”

Nodding their heads do both of them move to climb from the bed. My eyes still on Tori even as I move to kiss his forehead. The kiss gentle but enough to make Tori moan. A grin rising.

“Tori… Time to wake up. We have lots of training to do” I whisper. Not wanting to disturb his sleep but knew I had to.

“No…” whines Tori as he slowly begins to stir. A soft chuckle rising as I move to put on clothes. Tori still trying to wake himself up.

Tori’s POV

Ever have a moment where your dreaming and your dream gets really good? Like real good? Well that’s what happened to me. I was currently in the middle of a really good dream when Alex moved to kiss my head.

The scent of clove, orange and cinnamon hitting my nose. Rune already on alert when it came to our mates.

‘Mate… Mate’ replies Rune. His voice awfully loud for some reason in which I moan in reply. “No….”

Alex chuckling as he moves to pull away. The warmth of his body now gone just like Jake and Zak’s.

My body now acting weird the more I begin to move. My head throbbing. My vision blurry as I slowly move into a sitting position upon the bed. A wave of uneasiness rising. The scents of sandalwood, citrus and cedar along with peppermint, vanilla and chocolate soon hit my nose as well.

The scents telling me that Jake and Zak had entered the room.

“Morning little mate”

“….. Morning” I mutter. Rune still super excited to see them even if I wasn’t.

“Is everything okay?”

“Yeah… just tired, that’s all”

Humming at my words do each of them move to slowly get ready for the day. My body still struggling to function. My body warm as if craving my mates.

What is wrong with me? I think, now moving to stand from Jake’s bed. Jake and Zak now ready along with Alex. Jake now approaching me as he does. “Are you sure your okay Tor? I mean we can always train without you today if your not up for it.”

“No. I’m fine. Just tired. You guys go and I’ll move to meet up with you”

Hesitating slowly does Jake move to speak again. “Okay then… there’s clothes for you over in the closet once your ready to dress. And for now, feel free to use anything within my shower. We’ll work on getting you your things later, until then we’ll be waiting for you over on the training field.”

“Okay”

Then, with that said does Jake move to kiss me. Rune once again purring even as the three of them move to leave the room. My eyes on them until their gone. Rune now moving to address me. His voice filled with concern.

‘Are you sure your okay Tori? You don’t feel very fine to me. I can sense it. Your bodies heating up. A heat that only happens when it’s time to mate’ replies Rune. Almost as if Rune knew of the situation before me.

‘Mate? Oh no… that’s totally not possible. It’s only been what, 2 days? Maybe even 3? How can I possibly be ready to mate with them now?’ I ask, confused on how the whole mating thing worked.

‘So? We’re wolves Tori and some wolves mate sooner than others. Some mate within the first week of finding their mate. And unlike some people, we have 3. So now it’s time to mate with them’ answers Rune.

Groaning at the words do I try to ignore Rune. At least temporarily as I move to shower and dress. Hoping that the cool water against my skin would help me long enough to train.

~Training Grounds~

Upon reaching the training grounds do I suddenly feel even worse than before. My body now on literal fire as I slowly attempt to focus.

‘Tori… you need to tell them’

‘No Rune, I’ll be fine. Promise’

‘But Tori…’

‘No Rune, please… just trust me’ is all I say as I move to shove Rune aside. Having finally approached my mates upon the field. Their eyes on me as Zak moves to speak up.

“You ready little mate?”

“Ready”

And with that said do we move straight into training.
